A look at Adrian Peterson's first game since Week 2

A look at Adrian Peterson's first game since Week 2

By now, you know that the Minnesota Vikings are on life support after getting dominated 34-6 after falling to the Colts on Sunday.

The game marked Adrian Peterson’s return from meniscus surgery. Unfortunately, Peterson played just 12 snaps and we weren’t able to gather a whole lot from his play.

With the Vikings down for the majority of the game, running wasn’t an option, especially with how bad the offensive line has played this season. Peterson ran a team-high six times for 22 yards with a long of 13. Of course if you watched the game, you know we’re missing something. Peterson’s fumblitis returned as he coughed one up in the first quarter that resulted in an Indianapolis field goal.

With Peterson saying last week that he would only play if Minnesota had a realistic shot at the playoffs, it’ll be interesting if he suits up on Saturday as the Vikings take on the Packers.
